Visual Factory- The Future of Industrial Efficiency
π¦ Visual factory leverages technology and visual devices to enable machines to communicate instantly through light, color, and signals without words.
π Devices like WLS27 Pro light strip, WLF truck flexible strip light, and programmable tower lights offer various modes (run, level, segment, gauge, LED, dim and blend, demo) to indicate machine status and process parameters.
π The Olink master from Banner, an 8-port master, can be configured using Olink configurator and DXM configuration software to read/send signals, connect to PLCs or edge devices, and program internal logic.

Applications and Benefits
π Visual factory devices can simulate machine status, monitor processes, recognize signals, and coordinate with operators, improving communication efficiency across the shop floor.
π This technology can be used in various industrial processes, including sensor simulation, process visualization, operator guidance, and loading dock communication.
π§ Visual factory systems boost productivity, communication, and efficiency in industrial environments by providing real-time feedback on process status, cycle times, and error conditions.

Specific Devices and Features
π‘ The K50 Pro indicator displays various colors, animations, and sequences to show process status and errors, making it suitable for use on AGVs, machines, and robots.
πΊ The SD50 status display presents messages, measurements, and counts with a white screen, controlled using Olink software for flexible visual feedback.
π The multicolor touch button combines display, acknowledgement, and input functions, showing information such as sensor distance and counts with customizable visual cues.
π The K50 Pro with opto sensor uses an optical sensor to detect hand distance, providing visual feedback through colors and animations for different industrial applications.
π§ The IO-Link master functions as a central control unit for visual factory devices, allowing comprehensive management of messages, animations, and sequences across multiple devices to improve industrial communication and efficiency.
